Dear Shipmates

Introduction

Hi my name is David
I have spent many years sailing in the New England mostly on Long Island Sound. I have liquidated my land based possessions and living aboard full time. I am a disenchanted hopeless romantic, and believe that I will find my soul mate by following my sense of adventure wherever it takes me. My goal is to connect with nature, and the people I meet along the way. I,would love to find a life partner to share the rhythm of life on the sea. I have a PADI Open Water certification and a speargun, and intend to live off the ocean as much as possible. I am a retired Aerospace engineer and jack-of-all-trades, so will be doing most of the boat maintenance. Moderate drinking is OK while passagemaking, however getting sloppy is not under any circumstances. Any other questions, please reach out, as I am always willing to answer questions.

About the boat, the plans, and current crew

usually cleancomfortableluxuriousvery safevessel is survey certifiedvery spacioususually single handedlive on little moneyshare experiencevisit remote placesseek adventurefulfill a dreamface challengeslive off the grid

I have crossed the Atlantic West to East and am resting/reprovisionong in Komolac, Croatia (Dubrovnik). I hear the Mediterranean calling me loudly! I've been in the Caribbean for about a year now and am ready for a European adventure. I have no particular agenda. Points of interest are Italy anywhere, Greece, Spain, and Turkey, though I've heard they've made it more difficult and more expensive to visit Turkey.

What is expected of the crew

I expect crew to be respectful to others, no drama allowed. Everyone onboard is responsible for safety, if you see something that is unsafe, call it out! I believe in the democratic principle, and to that end all crew will have an input regarding destinations, activities, provisioning, however I will have the final say as owner and captain. I hope to share this adventure with you and revel in the beauty this world has to offer.
